Hoedown!

Having Fun at the Hoedown!

Last night was the ECFE fall kick off event at the Lincoln Community Center. A free event especially for kids ages 1-5. The kick off event had a Hoedown theme, so it was perfect for our little cow poke.

Jack Pearson kicked things off with a concert. Jack Pearson is great performer, when I was little he performed at my elementary school, I have very fond memories of those performances, and I even had his tape, it was one of my favorites. At first Avery wasn’t sure what was going on there were lots of kids (and not his Golden Heart friends) and a guy with a guitar. As usual after a little time he got more comfortable, he couldn’t take his eyes of Jack while he played all his instruments and sang, and danced.

Once the concert was over we headed outside to check out the petting zoo and games and tractor that was out on the lawn. Of course Avery had a great time exploring the petting zoo, the sheep and mini horse are always his favorites.

The ECFE class rooms were open and there were other activities and games set up in the gym but we opted to head to play ground instead, missing out on some fun I am sure but we had our own fun at climbing and sliding and playing outside.

Peek!

New play grounds are so fun to explore!

It was a really great event, Avery got a free book to top it all off, we will have to make sure to go again next year (and explore a little more)!
